The two Franks, both veterans of gourmet kitchens, created a menu filled with new classics: Italian American comfort food re-imagined with great ingredients and greenmarket sides. This witty cookbook, with its gilded edges and embossed cover, may look old-fashioned, but the recipes are just we want to eat now. The entire Frankies menu is adapted here for the home cook--from small bites including Cremini Mushroom and Truffle Oil Crostini, to such salads as Escarole with Sliced Onion \u0026amp; Walnuts, to hearty main dishes including homemade Cavatelli with Hot Sausage \u0026amp; Browned Butter. With shortcuts and insider tricks gleaned from years in gourmet kitchens, easy tutorials on making fresh pasta or tying braciola, and an amusing discourse on Brooklyn-style Sunday \"sauce\" (ragu), \u003ci\u003eThe Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion \u0026amp; Kitchen Manual\u003c\/i\u003e will seduce both experienced home cooks and a younger audience that is newer to the kitchen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Castronovo, Frank Falcinelli, Peter Meehan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1579654150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781579654153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Artisan Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e James Beard Foundation Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/06\/2010 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/05\/2010 pg. 39\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMen's Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2010 pg. 81\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly Best Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/08\/2010 pg. 30","brand":"Frank Castronovo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44051624722687,"sku":"9781579654153","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3fb9935-26ca-4098-9dcd-c6e38d5c0150.jpg?v=1685014198","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-frankies-spuntino-kitchen-companion-frank-castronovo-9781579654153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
